Titanium Nails are available for pre-order
Shelter Nail:
(Titanium and Steel Box and Masonry EDC Nails for emergency hardware and field tasks)
We wanted a nail that would leave a small footprint in your EDC or survival kit but still have the strength and size for shelter building in the bush or implementations in the urban jungle. The nail can secure branches for shelter, hang gear out of reach (tack it to a tree), or serve as an anchor for tarps. It can pry or wedge materials, chisel for minor carving, or clear bark for kindling. Use it to etch symbols on trees or rocks for trail marking, break glass, or create holes in plastic or metal for containers. It also works as a toothpick to clean equipment (firearm), strike a flint/ferrocerium for fire-starting, serve as a rudimentary weapon (works with the grip handle or create a nail rittled bat), or help mend clothing by creating holes for stitching. Clean crud from your boots, tack two wood poles together, or mount a rope to a wood wall. Choose our steel or titanium shelter!
- Also available with a Rubberized Grip Handle (w/ lanyard) for better grip and to add to a keychain.
